Pretty Card


 A girlfriend sent me this pretty Christmas card over the holidays, you had to fold it towards you and push a tab at the back into another tab.  She said she had bought it at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan which she liked to visit whenever she was there.

Paper straws and wooden cutlery


 I noticed McDonald's Canada restaurants now serve with wooden cutlery and paper straws, helping to eliminate all the plastic in our environment.  Even Walmart Canada is eliminating their plastic bags by April 2022.   It is the right thing to do although I do still line my household garbage bags with plastic.

Brazilian Cheese Bread appetizers


 


On our visit to Calgary last month, we went to Pampa Brazilian steakhouse and they served these delicious Brazilian cheese bread appetizers as pictured in the first photo.  I found the recipe on the back of a package of tapioca flour and made it.  They are so good, not to mention gluten free and easy to make.

Paint Party Friday - Insulin plant


Happy Paint Party Friday on Christmas Eve!  I did an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") of this insulin plant pictured below.  I had never seen anything like it and was attracted to its spirals.

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Christmas Future' theme.  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") depicting the ominous Christmas Future, borrowed from the Disney movie 'A Christmas Carol'.
